Bachelor of Applied Data Science Advanced (Honours)
Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
Monash's Bachelor of Applied Data Science Advanced (Honours) is an advanced version of the standard Bachelor of Applied Data Science, combining information technology and mathematics skills to extract meaning from large volumes of data through group and individual real-world projects. Students choose a stream to apply their data science training toward, spanning physical sciences, sociology and anthropology, biomedical studies, business or engineering, keeping the degree flexible across quite different career directions depending on which stream is chosen. The honours pathway adds deeper research training on top of the applied data science curriculum, useful preparation for postgraduate study or research-oriented data science roles rather than only industry-facing analytics positions. It suits high-achieving students who already know data science is their career direction and want a more selective entry cohort along with the added research depth the honours pathway provides, positioning graduates as genuinely versatile problem solvers across industries increasingly reliant on data.

A newer ANZSCO code (added 2022) that sits on CSOL only, supporting the employer-sponsored 482 and 186. Not on MLTSSL or STSOL, so it does not currently open the points-tested 189, 190, or 491, and no state nominates this exact code.
